Mini Moo's Half and Half, 192/Carton, Sold as 1 Carton, 192 Each per Carton

I only use Mini Moos. I don't want flavored creams. Mini Moos are perfect in my coffee, and I also use them to add to beaten eggs, homemade chocolate ganache, and many other things I make in my kitchen. The shelf life is great, the convenience is perfect. My husband has arthritis in his hands and he has no trouble peeling back the tab to open each individual serving container. That is a real big deal to him.

I've been ordering half and half in small cups because I hate cold coffee and any refrigerated cream reduced the temp. I was using coffee mate but it has negative 0 nutritional value, in fact it's probably the worst thing invented. Like everyone else, the battle is finding a decent seller who has enough respect to be honest and not sell expired cream/change dates/ Send damaged containers or fail to pack well enough to protect it. So far this seller is the only one to have a decent expiration 2 months past my anticipated completion and it's packed well and intact, So, I'm going to place a second order right now and I'll update you.

Great product, but I was disappointed when the box of 192 just arrived with an expiration date about 5 weeks from now. Should be more like 3mos. I have purchased these before and when they get old, they don't per se taste bad or have bacteria growing in them as they are UHT-processed, but they do separate and curdle in your coffee. These look and taste okay now, but I wanted them to last a couple of months as I only use them as back-up when I run out of half-and-half.

Easier than going to Sams Club, and not much more expensive when considering shipping cost. I would consider any price difference to be the cost of convenience. And clearly these don't stay on vendor's shelf for long given that expiration is 6 months out.

Mini Moos are UHT pasteurized so, in principle, they can have a long shelf life. The H&H has a slightly cooked taste, so you should know that you're trading stability and convenience against the need for refrigeration and taste when you go this route. Ordering a large batch online is a bit of a gamble because you don't know what sort of pull-date you're getting. Often, it's surprisingly short - like 30 days. If you aren't using them quickly, you might need to throw them out. On or near the pull date, they'll start to curdle in your coffee and you'll get unappealing chunks floating in your brew. Overall, these can be super-convenient because they don't require refrigeration. The taste, while not as good as fresh H&H, is way better than non-dairy alternatives. Just don't buy a big batch expecting them to taste a long time.

We have to order more Mini Moo's for our bed & breakfast and I noticed the low ratings for this product. I looked at the expiration date of my most recent purchase. It was December 1, 2017. Today's date is June 30, 2018. I figured that the remaining few left in the carton must certainly have spoiled. I opened one and it was fine. I even tasted it. No clumps and no spoilage. We do keep them refrigerated, even in our guest rooms with coffee makers. Maybe I'm just fortunate, but we've used this product for several years with no problems. I'll proceed now to order another box.

Love the product, perfect for my uses. Do not love the multiple price scam. Here's the product at $17.13, I'll buy it. Oh, there's a similar product. Oh, it is exactly the same thing, at $8.72. Oops paid $17.13 last week. Land o" Lakes, please don't do this to your customers. It is unethical.

I ordered these Mini Moos at the beginning of June 2020, and kept them for emergencies, because emergencies necessitate coffee. While organizing my shelf-stable food today, I realized that I had no idea when these Moos expire. I couldn’t find the date anywhere on the box...until I saw a faint “best by” shadow under the “To Amazon, from third-party vendor” shipping label. After 5 minutes of careful peeling and scratching, I discovered that my Mini Moos had already expired 2.5 weeks ago, in July. As others can attest, it’s usually not wise to disregard the expiration date on shelf-stable dairy, so I guess I’ll be tossing these out. Thanks, Amazon and Icemans Thunder LLC! So, what’s the takeaway for you, the prospective buyer? 1. Amazon shipped these to me when they were less than 2 months away from expiration. 2. Amazon didn’t even know when they expired, because the third-party vendor had covered up the expiration date. 3. Some companies don’t seem to understand the responsibilities associated with selling food. Thankfully, customers are free to respond accordingly and purchase from more diligent organizations. (For some reason, Amazon decided to include “sheerness” as a characteristic for rating in this review. I’ll gladly make use of that opportunity: 1 star for sheerness, because the vendor’s label wasn’t sheer enough to read through it.) ADDENDUM: As I was throwing these away, I noticed that the label in the second photo has an expiration date of August 30 on it. (No, I didn’t notice it before I posted my initial review. I just can’t see the forest for the trees sometimes.) I don’t know if the third-party vendor or Amazon is responsible for this label, but the expiration date doesn’t match the covered-up manufacturer’s expiration date, as seen in the first photo. This could be a mistake (perhaps box was mixed up in the wrong lot) or an intentional decision to try to sell a product when it should be thrown away soon. Either way, It’s deceptive. Take note, potential buyers, and take care to scratch off your shipping labels if you want to be sure about when they expire.
